Vikings Top Bucs 23-16, Mayfield Injured

The Vikings defense dominated Baker Mayfield, sacking him six times and forcing an interception that sealed the win. Mayfield injured his right thumb after slamming it into Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman while being hit after throwing the interception, forcing him to leave the game and go to the locker room.

Mayfield finished the day 17-of-34 for 217 yards and a touchdown before exiting. Rookie Jalon Daniels took the final snaps for the 0-3 Buccaneers as they hope for better news on Mayfield's thumb. The Vikings' offense struggled after halftime, with Kyler Murray being sacked three times while going 15-of-29 for 168 yards. newsbetting.bond
